Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I mean, does it pose any toxicity issues for a newborn child if a nursing mother takes it? Since the ingredients are somewhat mysterious, does anybody have experience using it in this kind of situation? Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 From the standpoint of personal safety, I would use it on myself. From a legal standpoint, I would not use it...since the ingredients are not fully known. Instead, consider using a formula containing Radix Notoginseng/San Qi and follow the cautions and contraindications of that/those herbs.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 What would be the indication for giving it to the mother of a newborn? There are plenty of classic formulas to resolve post partum bleeding that have no contraindications to a newborn. Sheng Hua Tang is the first one that comes to mind... , " znelms " <znelms wrote: > > I mean, does it pose any toxicity issues for a newborn child if a nursing mother takes it? > Since the ingredients are somewhat mysterious, does anybody have experience using it in this kind of situation? > > Zach > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ingredients listed aren't the real ingredients, they are just jumping through the hoops to slide under the FDA radar. Actually, contrary to popular belief, the main ingredient isn't even San Qi.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Not San qi??? wow.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Just out of curiosity, Leon Hammer related to me on several occasions Dr. John Shen's story regarding the history of Yunan Bai Yao. Supposedly, the original man who wrote the formula had followed many injured animals through the forest to observe what herbs they ate in an attempt to heal and so constructed a complex formula. The Chinese communists tortured the family who knew the formula into relinquishing it but they gave the formula only partially. I'm wondering if anyone has any notion if any part of this story is true. I have no opinion but use the formula often and would like to know anything about it's history I could find out.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Eric, Qi Li San is given for all kinds of injuries. Therefore, I suspect that it provided the inspiration for Yunnan Bai Yao.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Now we need a thread called " What The Heck is Up with Yunnan Baiyao?

For example, are you saying there has been some kind of chemical assay to establish the relative dearth of San Qi in the formula...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks everyone for commenting. I went with another formula already. Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 When I worked at a major herb company a few years ago, for a few months we were out of Yunnan pai yao, so we suggested that people take the unprocessed San Qi capsules (50% concentrated powder/ 50% raw powder) instead. The feedback was that the San qi caps worked just as good as YPY. Mainly vets use a lot of this formula for horses hooves bleeding etc. K On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 10:23 AM, Derek Owen Doss <derekodosswrote: > > > Now we need a thread called " What The Heck is Up with Yunnan Baiyao?

Therefore, I suspect that it provided the inspiration for Yunnan Bai Yao. One of my teachers from Hong Kong did extensive research on the chemistry and composition of Yunnan Baiyao. The formulation of Yunnan Baiyao is a protected secret so it isn't really appropriate for me to discuss his research results on a public forum like CHA. However, suffice to say that San Qi is not its main ingredient, and it isn't related to Qi Li San. Of course, San Qi powder can be used on its own for bleeding just like Yunnan Baiyao, but San Qi and Yunnan Baiyao are not interchangeable. Yunnan Baiyao used to be a local medicine that relied on a family recipe from Yunnan province, and it is believed to contain a variety of local medicinals beyond the standard Chinese herbs common in international commerce. One of its main ingredients is something that we are familiar with but it is likely that it has other active ingredients that are more obscure. I'm sorry that I can't say more about it but it wouldn't be respectful of my teacher's work to go blabbing about it, and I don't know all the details myself in the first place.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Eric, there are a lot of fakes out there, but one was very popular until a few years ago, when the official company sued it and took it off the market in the U.S. Does anyone remember the name of it? It had pink colored writing, instead of blue. The official one is: Yunnan Bai Yao Capsules - small Yunnan Bai Yao Standard Dosage: 1-2 capsules 4 x day. Use topically or internally for trauma Ingredients: Proprietary formula, Panax notoginseng root, Ajuga forrestii herb, Dioscorea opposita rhizome, Dioscorea nipponica root, Erodium stephanianum herb, Dioscorea parviflora rhizome, Inula cappa herb. - ingredients undisclosed., Tian san qi, San yu cao, Shan yao, Chuan shan long, Lao guan cao, Ku liang jiang, Bai niu dan. Cautions & Contraindications: Contraindicated during pregnancy. http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/english/200110/19/eng20011019_82703.html Is the primary ingredient Shan yao? That would make sense, because it's a less expensive ingredient and is still astringent. San Qi is quite expensive.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I buy the one in the blue and white box that lists ingreds but the first one is " proprietary blend " , 500 mg of it. I'll admit, I take it myself but am wary of prescribing it because pts often want to know what is in what we prescribe.
